Are we the only fans who love a 1-0 game? And think a 10-3 game with a lot of action/runs scored.. is horribly boring. And longer. It makes no sense to think more runs will be faster and less runs slower. Close games fun. Blowouts dull. #Dodgers @Joe_Davis @OrelHershiser
@DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser You’re missing the point on this. The goal is more action, less down time.
@Joe_Davis @OrelHershiser Not so much missing the point as expanding it. Thanks for the feedback.
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser Bad pitching, slower games, more time spent watching baseball. Downside? ⚾️🥰
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser Joe, old time fan. If teams gonna shift, then NO infielder on the grass. No 5th outfielder. More action occurs
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser The score is irrelevant to the pace of play. Methodical pitchers and hitters that are out of the box on every pitch adjusting something. Warm up pitches should be limited to 1 minute not 10 pitches at the pitchers pace. Also, there’s very little strategy these days.
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser More balls in play means more opportunities for outs on less pitches. BABIP Why do you think managers are okay throwing position players in? Balls will find gloves.
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser I LOVE action. I hate no-action pitchers' duels - that's boring! (Sorry Orel....)
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser This is the important point that people aren't listening to.
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser Completely agree, pace of play is very integral in keeping the game exciting.
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser Beside if hitters become smart hitters by going the other way, instead of just being pull hitters n swing for the fences, if managers manage a game instead of a script forcing defense and manufacturing runs…there is ur action. Analytic is what is ruining baseball
@Joe_Davis @DodgerFanWeekly @OrelHershiser Is the clock reset if they throw to a base before pitching in the 15 seconds?
